Playa De Jandia Surfer Fuerteventura by phil_howcroft

Playa De Jandia Surfer Fuerteventura

I've been missing off 365 for a good week as we've been on holiday to Playa De Jandia in Fuerteventura.

A week in the sun, a beach and sun holiday, with some fabulous photo opportunities for landscapes, seascapes, surfers and my 100 strangers series.

This is my first photo to share with you. It is a surfer on the beach in Playa de Jandia, Fuerteventura.

I decided to post it in mono as he's wearing a black wet suit, the surf is white and therefore the blue sea took your eye away from the area of interest. Also, once I'd recovered the highlights from the surf, the blues became a tad too off blue !

Edited in Rawtherapee.

Hope you like this conversion
Hate to be so parochial, but where in the world is your little bit of vacation heaven? The name is unfamiliar to me. Your capture is fabulous. Did you surf as well?

@allie912 ha ha allison, i do not surf. We went to Fuerteventura in my first year on 365 . It is a canary island (part of Spain) in the Oceano Atlantico. In fact, I remember you asking me a similar question back in 2011....... :)
